The rate equation for the reaction 2A+B rarr C is found to be: rate = k[A][B] . The correct statement in relation of this reaction is that

The rate and mechamical reaction are studied in chemical kinetics. The elementary reactions are single step reaction having no mechanism. The order of reaction and molecularity are same for elementary reactions. The rate of forward reaction aA + bBrarr cC+dD is given as: rate =((dx)/(dt))=-1/a(d[A])/(dt)=-1/b(d[B])/(dt)=1/c(d[C])/(dt)=1/d(d[D])/(dt) or expression can be written as : rate =K_(1)[A]^(a)[B]^(b)-K_(2)[C]^(c )[D]^(d) . At equilibrium, rate = 0 . The constants K, K_(1), K_(2) are rate constants of respective reaction. In case of reactions governed by two or more steps reaction mechanism, the rate is given by the slowest step of mechanism. The rate of formation of SO_(3) in the following reaction, 2SO_(2)+O_(2)rarr 2SO_(3) is 10 g sec^(-1) The rate of disappearance of O_(2) will be:

The rate of reaction ((dx)/(dt)) varies with nature, physical state and concentration of reactants, temperature, exposure to light and catalyst, whereas rate constant (K) varies with temperature and catalyst only. The rate constant K is given as K=Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) where A is Arrhenius parameter or pre-exponential factor and E_(a) is energy of activation. The minimum energy required for a reaction is called threshold energy and the additional energy required by reactant molecules to attain threshold energy level is called energy of activation. For a chemical reaction: Ararr Product, the rate of disappearance of A is given by: (-dC_(A))/(dt)=K_(1) (C_(A))/(1+K_(2)C_(A)) . At low C_(A) , the order of reaction and rate constants are respectively:
